INSUFFICIENT POWER:
Probable Cause
Solution
Dirty or clogged air passages Flush and lubricate tool, drain air tank and supply line
Insufficient air supply Increase line pressure, Make sure compressor
matches tool’s air pressure and consumption needs
Air leakage Use teflon tape at all fittings and joints. Check tool for
worn or damaged O-rings & seals.
Worn/damaged wear & tear parts Replace as necessary.
Tool matching Be sure you are using a tool suited for the torque
requirements of the job at hand.
WARNING:
Always disconnect the tool from the air source before
examining or changing bits.
1. Select the appropriate chisel/bit. Unscrew the Retainer Spring and insert the
shank of the chisel/bit. Screw the Retainer Spring back onto the Cylinder.
Holding the Air Chisel firmly, pull the chisel/bit hard to make sure it
locked into place.
Note:
Before connecting the air supply, make sure you are wearing safety
goggles and a full face mask, ear protection, and steel toe shoes.
WARNING:
Any spectators in the immediate area will need eye and
ear protection. Beware of flying chips of wood, concrete, metal, or any
other material being chiseled.
2. Connect the air hose to the Air Inlet and turn on the compressor
(not included).
3. Grip the Air Hammer with both hands firmly and put the chisel/bit tip up
against the workpiece you wish to chip.
4. Gently squeeze the Trigger and move slowly along the workpiece. Do not
push down on the Air Hammer; let it do the work. If it does not do the
intended job to satisfaction, examine your bit to see if it is worn or dull.
WARNING:
Always disconnect from the air source before examining or
changing bits.
5. When you are finished, turn off the air supply and then hold the Air Hammer
in a safe direction and Squeeze the trigger to bleed off the remaining air.
Then, disconnect the air hose.
1. Do not put additional pressure on the machine. This will only reduce
sanding efficiency and shorten the tool’s life. We recommend the air
pressure of this grinder at 90 PSI.
2. When using the grinder be careful not to exert excessive force. Too
much force could be hazardous if it caused the cutting tool spindle to
bend or break.
3. The burning of the work piece or excessive speed reduction indicates
too much force being applied. Changing to a free cutting tool may be
better for the desired rate of speed and stock removal.
4. Avoid hazardous conditions by making sure there is sufficient gripping
force on the spindle of the cutting tool by placing the spindle at least
7/16" inside the collet.
5. Lubricate the air motor with a good grade of air tool oil and drain the
tank daily. Grit or gum deposits in the tool may cut power and may be
corrected by cleaning the air strainer and flushing out the tool with
gum solvent oil.
